Well, 14 days after 25 radiotherapy sessions and 35 oral chemo feeling good. Hayley was right! Only a week ago I felt the worst ever with morphine by the toilet for passing 'glass' sessions and the pain after! Seems a distant memory now although it was only a week ago!
Even had 3 glasses of wine tonight, couldn't drink before because too dependant on pain killers. Only have them when going to bed now. Feel fine during the day but still get burning pains and wake up every 4 hours for another dose of pain killers during the night.Wonder why that is when I am fine now in the day time!
Even the sore feet has settled down a lot.
Think its strange many of us feel 'elated' when we are not in so much pain, when without the cancer we would be complaning!!!
Have to wait 5 weeks for the scan now to see if the treatment worked,and a date for my stoma op which will probably be in December.
Going to try and get fit before that, hopefully to speed my recovery.
Just wanted to write tht I am feeling good about feeling good!!!

Hi Jo,
I am so glad to hear the news that you are feeling so much better!!!!!
Isn't it great! I think there comes a time in our treatment when we can't believe we will ever feel even half-normal again but gradually, bit by bit, we crawl out of that black hole. Just remember to spoil yourself and take things easy - Rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz!
